Answer 1

$\star\;{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{QueStion\;:}}}}}$

if $\dfrac{-5}{9}$=$\dfrac{-20}{x}$, then x equal to?

a. -36

b.24

c.-28

d.28

$\star\;{\underline{\underline{solution:-}}}$

the find x we need to:-

$\dfrac{-5}{9}=\dfrac{-20}{x}$

let's do cross multiplication:-

$(-5)×x=(-20)×9$

$(-5)×x=(-180)$

$(-5x)=(-180)$

$x=(-180)÷(-5)$

$x=36$

therefore,

$\dfrac{-5}{9}$=$\dfrac{-20}{36}$
